1. 1. Anticipating Glacier Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs): an impact-based forecasting framework for managing GLOF risks in Nepal.

   Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

   Författare :Grace Muir; [2023]
   Nyckelord :Anticipatory Action; Impact-based Forecasting; Glacier Lake Outburst Flood; Nepal; Risk-informed Early Action; Prediction; Disaster Risk Management; Science General;

   Sammanfattning : Glacier lake outburst floods (GLOFs) are an increasingly documented threat across the Himalayan region, wherein Nepal is situated. GLOFs involve a rapid discharge of water from a lake situated at the side, front, within, beneath, or on the surface of a glacier. LÄS MER

3. 2. Enhanced Vulnerability and Capacity Assessments as an organisational learning bridge for resilience building? A case study of Red Cross National Societies in the Caribbean

   Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

   Författare :Gwenaëlle Delcourt; [2023]
   Nyckelord :Organisational learning; resilience; vulnerability and capacity assessments VCAs ; red cross red crescent; Disaster risk management; MMO; Social Sciences;

   Sammanfattning : Adaptive capacity based on organisational learning (OL) is at once a critical imperative facing humanitarian organisations in their mission to save lives and support communities most at risk; and inherently evidenced as an enduring weakness over the past decades. Vulnerability and Capacity Assessments (VCA) are community-based risk assessments established for their utility in supporting communities’ iterative learning. LÄS MER

4. 3. Jordbrukssektorns resiliens mot extrema väderhändelser i en svensk kontext : Förutsättningar och strategier för ökad resiliens

   Master-uppsats, Karlstads universitet/Centrum för klimat och säkerhet (from 2013)

   Författare :Jenny Wessberg; [2019]
   Nyckelord :Resilience; agricultural sector; droughts; floods; Västra Götaland County; Resiliens; jordbrukssektorn; torka; översvämningar; Västra Götalands län;

   Sammanfattning : Under de senaste årtiondena har klimatförändringarna påverkat naturliga och mänskliga system världen över, och som en följd har extrema väderhändelser inträffat oftare och blivit mer intensiva. Många ekosystem och mänskliga system är både mycket sårbara och exponerade, däribland jordbruket. LÄS MER

5. 4. Forecast-based Financing: Developing triggers for drought

   Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

   Författare :Toke Bengtsson; [2018]
   Nyckelord :Forecast-based Financing; FbF; drought; trigger; Science General;

   Sammanfattning : Forecast-based Financing (FbF) is a rather new concept within the humanitarian world, which enables actors to act before a likely disaster, based on forecasts. In this study, two scoping studies and five interviews with FbF experts were conducted to find out how to develop useful triggers for drought. LÄS MER

7. 5. Cross-border Displacement: Prevent, Prepare or Adapt to?

   Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

   Författare :Monica Sepka; [2017]
   Nyckelord :Disaster Risk Management; Environment; Migration; Displacement; Drivers; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Sammanfattning : Despite the fact that some forecasts suggest that a large number of individuals could become displaced by 2050, the institutional and operational linkages between climate and cross-border displacement continues to be complex. While refugees and IDPs are treated according to specific treaties, the status of cross-border displacement as a result of disasters suffers from a normative gap and the linkages between disaster displacement, its drivers and risk reduction seems rather underrepresented in existing research.
